Here is an enormous Yahoo Pipe. You can see it in it’s full size by clicking here Giant Yahoo Pipe.
I’m going to use it to explain how to perform many different data manipulations using Yahoo Pipes. Just so you know, Yahoo Pipes is used to pull data from websites, manipulate that data, create an RSS feed with that data, and then send it where ever you would like. For more information on Yahoo Pipes see my tutorial Yahoo Pipes Tutorial.
In the previous Yahoo Pipes Tutorial, I briefly described what every module does. In this article, I demonstrate how to do many useful things with Yahoo Pipes.
Remember, the ultimate goal is to create great custom feeds that will automatically get posted on our websites. I showed you how to do this in a previous article How to Make Money Blogging. With those techniques, I was able to make an extra $11 bucks, after all fees, for each site I made. Each site took less than 20 minutes to put together and then required no maintanence. With Yahoo Pipes pulling even better articles, I’m pulling in $26 on average.
On my mission to create a completely automated Money Making Blog, I discovered Yahoo Pipes. Yahoo Pipes provides you with the ability to take anything from any other site and use it however you see fit.
What really excites me about Yahoo Pipes is that it provides us a way to create an automated site! Imagine a site that is constantly updating with the most interesting stories and photos, and deals from all over the web. It’s not a fantasy anymore.
In a previous article, Post to WordPress, I showed you how you can post to your WordPress site by email. Yahoo Pipes will send you an email every time new information is gathered. See where I’m going? Now you just tell Yahoo Pipes what you want gathered, it gets it and then posts it directly on your website!
